About This Item
Rochester, 1862. About very good.. 132pp. 12mo. Original brown publisher's cloth, stamped in gilt and blind. Corners bumped, moderate wear to corners and spine ends, cloth lightly soiled. Minor scattered foxing. Poetry written by a woman in Rochester, much of it with a Civil War theme. Among these is a poem entitled "The Volunteer," with lines which describes a fallen son being returned to his mother, her lament reading: "The North, the South, to me, / All places are the same! / My mother-tears have quench'd / The patriotic flame." Other pieces include "The Midnight Dirge" and "The Slave Girl." Relatively uncommon.
